DTC C1436: Yaw Rate Sensor Malfunction: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Select the Data List on the Techstream. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .
      ABS/VSC/TRAC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Yaw Rate Sensor Yaw rate sensor / min.: -128 deg/s, max.: 127 deg/s Vehicle stationary: 0 deg/s
      Right turn: -128 to 0 deg/s
      Left turn: 0 to 127 deg/s

      Yaw Rate Sensor2 Yaw rate sensor 2 / min.: -128 deg/s, max.: 127 deg/s Vehicle stationary: 0 deg/s
      Right turn: -128 to 0 deg/s
      Left turn: 0 to 127 deg/s
      -
    4. Check that the yaw rate and acceleration sensor output value displayed on the Techstream.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      NG (The yaw rate and acceleration sensor output value is 0 deg/s when the vehicle is stationary, but the value fluctuates when turning) A
      NG (The yaw rate and acceleration sensor output value is not 0 deg/s when the vehicle is stationary) B
      OK C
      NOTE:

      Check the yaw rate and acceleration sensor signal after replacement. Refer to TEST MODE PROCEDURE .

      HINT: 

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

    B → See step   3 

    C → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR INSTALLATION 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Check that the yaw rate and acceleration sensor has been installed properly. Refer to INSTALLATION .

      OK

      The sensor should be tightened to the specified torque.

      The sensor should not be installed in a tilted position.

      NOTE:

      Check the yaw rate and acceleration sensor signal after replacement. Refer to TEST MODE PROCEDURE .

      HINT: 

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

    NG → See step   4 

    OK → See step   3 

  3. REPLACE YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  4. INSTALL YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR CORRECTLY. Refer to  INSTALLATION 
  5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
